We at the Ethernet Storage Forum heard you loud and clear. You need more info on storage performance benchmarking. Our first Webcast, “Storage Performance Benchmarking: Introduction and Fundamentals” was tremendously popular – reaching over 2x the average audience, while hundreds more have read our Q&A blog on the same topic. So, back by popular demand Mark Rogov, Advisory Systems Engineer at EMC, Ken Cantrell, Performance Engineering Manager at NetApp, and I will move past the basics to the second Webcast in this series Storage Performance Benchmarking Part 2. With a focus on System Under Test (SUT), we’ll cover:

Commonalities and differences between basic Block and File terminology

Basic file components and the meaning of data workloads

Main characteristics of various workloads and their respective dependencies, assumptions and environmental components

The complexity of the technology benchmark interpretations

The importance to System Under Test:

What are the elements of a SUT?

Why are caches so important to understanding performance of a SUT?

Bottlenecks and threads and why they matter

I hope you’ll join us on October 21st at 9:00 a.m. PT. to learn why file performance benchmarking truly is an art. My colleagues and I plan to deliver another informative and interactive hour. Please register today and bring your questions. I hope to see you there.

Update: This webcast is part of a series on storage performance benchmarking. Check out the others:
